Pretty sure they force-aged her. Her parents were likely following the Borg around the same time as the colonies along the Romulan neutral zone were being scooped up.

Too lazy to look up the episode (wanna say it's the Raven) but I distinctly remember them saying that 7's parents were investigating the Borg about a decade before they officially encountered the Enterprise. It's not necessarily a recon. But it definitely borders on the edge of one.

If humans have iron based blood and Vulcans have copper based blood what blood does Spock have?

This does actually raise quite a few questions that I'm not even remotely qualified to answer. Spocks mom was human so their blood was probably incompatible. I don't really know how pregnancy works but doesn't the umbilical cord transfer blood between mother and child?

They don't exchange blood directly. The placenta exchanges oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood to the infant. It's really quite clever. The unspoken assumption is that vulcans are functionally similar enough to humans to allow a placenta to even form in the first place.

Earth and Romulaus had to use nukes, as neither of them did not have photon and plasma torpedos until well after the war was over. As conventional chemical energy explosives like TNT just isn't going to cut it in space warfare.
FFS the TOS Enterprise was still armed with Lasers til iirc mid way through season 1 when they were replaced with phasers.

Also, phase cannons were underpowered.

IIRC, T'pol and Tripp's baby didn't occur through natural pregnancy but was the result of people doing Science™ to produce it. And that was the first Vulcan-Human hybrid. Was there ever anything to show that Spock's mother got pregnant just in the normal course of things? Because if not, we can probably assume that there was some deliberate Science™ intervention there as well.
 
Just got to "The Voyager Conspiracy." This episode reminds me of some of our A&H posters, with how far down the rabbit hole it goes. It's absolutely a high value episode.

a pet peeve of mine is the over use of the borg and recon of the borg. they are supposed to encounter the federation during tng. but now it turns out the borg encountered the federation during voy and ent.

this was the one episode of ent that i real did not like because of how easy the ent crew beat the two borg drones. the borg overwhelms 24th century federation, so i find it hard to believe 22nd century starfleet can dispatch the drones so easy.

TBH the 2 Borg drones found in Antarctica were damaged. Archer's crew encountered the science team that got turned into Borg, to them they were just people under the effects of weird cybernetics. I like that at no point during the episode they mention the word Borg. I think Archer brings up the First Contact and that Cochrane used to tell wacky stories.

Copper based. That's why his skin is not pink like the humans.

That was with the genetically enhanced? I really like how they portrayed them. Realistic and also very dangerous. I might rewatch some of those old episodes. It's been a long time.

The augments as a concept was neat and I liked. (Brent Spiner is always great.) I just wasn't happy with it becoming the explanation for the TOS Klingons. (Though I think that was a later episode, so the original arc was great.)
 
I'm still trying to figure out why they thought Section 31 was a good idea. When IGN (of all places) is giving your shit at 2, it's time to stop.
